ECO-WORTHY Dual-Axis Solar Tracker (PRO) Manual
Version 1.0
I. General Information
1. Safety Precautions
- For the proper use and maintenance of this product, please read carefully and understand this instruction before installation.
- Make sure that the tracker system is installed on a solid concrete ground which is strong enough to hold the weight of all the tracker and solar panels.
- Make sure all the bolts and nuts are firmly tightened during the installation.
- To adjust the angle of the solar panels, loosen the side clamps and middle clamps first and then move the panels carefully. DO NOT adjust the solar panels by force.
- During long-time usage, some components might be loosened or corroded. For safety, please check the tracker regularly.
- In stormy weather with a wind speed greater than 20.8m/s, it is best to remove the solar panels to prevent damage to the bracket.
- It is NOT RECOMMENDED to mount the tracker somewhere high above as it is very dangerous.
- Please disconnect the power supply before making any wiring operations on the controller to prevent short circuits and damage to the controller.
- The wind speed sensor should be installed in a high place that is easy to detect the nearby wind (it should not be installed directly on the ground and is recommended to be at least 1.5 meters above the ground). There should be no large objects nearby that hinder the wind flow. The installation site should be chosen to prevent water accumulation, to avoid damage to the sensor from rainwater. And the leads should be organized and fixed to avoid blocking the rotation of the wind cups.
- When the power supply cannot meet the power required by the actuator, the controller will automatically restart. Please check whether the power supply voltage is too low or whether the actuator load exceeds the standard.
- The controller has been preset with all parameters by the factory. However, due to certain differences in the actuator's own operating speed, load-bearing capacity, environmental resistance, power supply voltage, and the installation position of the solar panel, the solar tracker may not be completely horizontal when executing night or wind protection modes. If necessary, please adjust the data of T3, T4, T5, T9, T10, and T11 according to the instruction manual.
- When the air humidity is high or the temperature difference between day and night is significant, a small amount of moisture may condense inside the sun sensor's cover, but it will not damage the device. The control board has been treated for protection, and the moisture will naturally evaporate after being exposed to the sun, without affecting the function.
- When the sun is obscured by clouds of uneven thickness, the light that penetrates through the clouds to the ground is of varying intensity in different directions. The sun sensor may detect the maximum power point that is inconsistent with the actual position of the sun, causing the solar tracker not to follow the sun's movement correctly. This situation is normal, and the tracker is still in the best power generation state at this time. This phenomenon may occur on cloudy, rainy, or overcast days.

Components: Main Pole (x1), Compass (x1), Screw Bag 1 (x1), Expansion Bolt (x8)
There are 4 signs on the main pole indicating directions (South, North, West, East). Use the compass to place the main pole correctly so that the tracker can track the sun properly.
The orientation of the main pole in the Northern Hemisphere should be opposite to that in the Southern Hemisphere.
The main pole must be installed on solid concrete ground or pier with the expansion bolts. The solid ground base must be larger or equal to a 600*600*700mm cube.
